    This chair is built nicely for the price point. My Thrustmaster wheel and handbrake mounted perfectly in the provided mounting holes and feel solid as can be. Ive been using mine constantly for the last 6 months and it is still as good as new. Assembly is simple and the chair reclines/adjusts with a side lever just like a car seat and it stores away easily as well. For the price point, youd be pressed to find a better SIM racing seat. I highly recommend it.

    The seat came on time and the installation was easy to follow. I ran into an issue with one of the steps and ended up calling customer service on a Sat afternoon, the response was pleasantly surprising. The most responsive customer service I have ever experienced, the issue was resolved within 5 mins of my placing the call. The seat has the backrest and the seat position (front/back) adjustments that make it easy to adapt to ones comfort and style. The steering wheel and the brake pedal setup are designed to fit seamlessly to the controllers, I used logitech g29 gear and it fit without any issues. Great product overall and excellent customer service!!

    This set up may seem like an extravagance, but if you are into sim-racing and have the room for it, go for it! Seat is very comfortable and the entire unit is adjustable so you can get the seat, wheel and pedals EXACTLY where you want them. No more fussing with clamping wheels to tables and having pedals slide around on the floor. My Thrustmaster T300 bolts onto the unit with included screws to hold everything rock-solid in place. Quality feels top-notch. Well worth the $.

    Short version: this seat is well-built, sturdy, easy to assemble and highly customizable. The customer service is incredible, truly above and beyond. I could not be happier with the purchase. So if youre going to buy a rig, buy this one. Also, if youre trying to decide whether you need a rig, allow me to offer this advice: you need a rig. Just buy this; you will not regret it. Longer version: I have now had this rig about 18 months. I bought it for both driving and flying in Virtual Reality using a Vive Index. For cars I use pretty high end Fanatec wheel/shifter/pedals, and for planes I use a Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS with Logitech pedals. I wanted a rig that I could switch in between those two modes without too much trouble. I googled heavily and looked at over a dozen options, including a few that were over $1000. Few of them seemed setup well for both activities, and even those that were seemed like they would be painful to switch. This one had a smart design and great reviews, so I gave it a shot. I have been thoroughly impressed ever since. First, the kit: its perfect. With the extension (more on that in a bit) its perfectly positioned for both activities. The driving pedals/wheel attach with one knob; the flight pedals use that same attachment and the HOTAS (and gearshift on the rare occasions I use it) go on the arms of the chair with two knobs each. I can switch between driving and flying in about 2-3 minutes, and whichever set Im not using fits easily in a hallway coat closet. Whichever setup Im in, its completely rock-solid. The steering wheel was decently solid even before they sent me an improved attachment plate (again, more below) for free. There are also multiple positions for the HOTAS (center stick/side stick) and shifter (left/right). The chair is comfortable, has adjustable tilt, and the position of the wheel and pedals are independently adjustable. Putting it all together would have been straightforward even without the clear instructions with color photographs; with those instructions its impossible to mess up. They even included a real wrench...like one Id find in my toolbox, not the disposable stamped-metal junk typically included in such contexts. If I was forced, under enhanced interrogation, to find a complaint, I would ask for more lumbar support. But so far I have not been forced to do that (and I have a separate lumbar cushion), so I have no complaints. Now, as to customer service: these guys are incredible! Several reviews with similar praise were definitely a factor in my decision, but even knowing that Ive been blown away. At the time of my purchase, the company said a height extension kit was coming soon and a couple reviewers indicated they had been sent beta kits for testing. It worked fine without the extension, but I liked the idea of being 6 higher (especially for flying) so I emailed asking about said kit. The company got back to me the same day with a friendly email clearly written by an actual human being; he said that they had finalized the kit (it was no longer in beta) and would be selling it soon....but hed just go ahead and send me one for free. When it arrived it installed easily, and its a big improvement when flying. I assume they are now selling it; if youre going to use this for flying I highly recommend getting it, though for driving its about the same either way. In any case, I would gladly have paid the asking price for it, and I found just sending it over for free impressive. So having already started an email conversation because of the extension, a few weeks into using the rig I made a couple of suggestions for future purchasers, such as either replacing a couple of allen keys with knobs or just including a few more of each. He wrote back and said it was a good idea, and then just sent me a bag of extra allens and knobs! Then at some point he wrote me to say they had redesigned the steering wheel attachment to be less resistant to inadvertent tilt changes; he promptly sent the updated one over for free. The old one hadnt caused me much trouble, but it did need to be tightened down awful hard; the new one is much better, and presumably is now included by default. So that makes three separate items that these nice folks just packaged up and sent to me, for free, voluntarily. Two of them I didnt even request. Thats just amazing. Possibly the most impressive customer service I have ever seen. If you couldnt tell by the equipment I attach to this rig, Im fairly hardcore about this sort of thing. I was willing to spend four digits if I needed to, and looked at some options in that range. If this chair cost $1200, I would still say its worth it. No kidding. But the good news is, its not! Its a third of that! You cant afford not to buy it! Youre still reading this? Its written like Faulkner for Christs sake! Quit reading and go buy this rig!

    This cockpit is awesome! Extremely versatile and comes with absolutely everything you need, regardless of what products you use for sim racing. Very sturdy and well built. Couldnt be happier with my decision to go with this brand.

    Very sturdy! Very well made.....and heavy! Bought additional add-ons as well they are the same. Now if only they would make an add-on with two powerful fans on each side to make my VR racing even more immersive. What I liked even better is how organized everything was and to my surprise included all tools necessary for assembly.

    Arrived a few days early just in time to finish out my holiday vacation! Outstanding! Excellent quality parts and construction! Very well thought out design and functionality. The seat is very comfortable. Usually with kits like this the parts bag is one big confusing plastic bag. Not this one. In the zippered cloth bag came smaller plastic parts bags clearly labeled. The cloth bag will be used to hold parts i havent used and the tools. Also included were all tools needed which were also high quality! Very impressed with the thought and detail of this kit! I will be ordering some of the accessories like the 5 seat risers. Everything bolted up perfectly and my Logitech wheel and pedals bolted up perfectly with the hardware parts in the kit.

    Wow, totally blown away by the quality of this setup. 1st - It is made of strong powdercoated square tubing, excellent hardware, full adjustable 2nd - The instructions and packing and setup could not be any easier, includes tools to put together 3rd - Rock solid! I did not realize what I was missing with my other stands that would wobble or move, I can feel the feedback better, can drift better, can respond better. 4th - The seat is a real racing seat, terrific, ergonomic, nuff said! I received this as a Christmas gift from my wife and was not sure how it would work with my fantec wheel, pedals, and shifter. It worked great! No issues, wheels on the bottom so you can slide it around and out of the way when not in use. For the price this is a steal!

    After using this cockpit for a few weeks, I am happy to write a 5-star review! The best thing about this cockpit is its combination of both rigidity and modularity. I have a center-mounted flight sim setup, and by loosening one knob, I can quickly remove my rudder/stick mount and replace it with my racing wheel/driving pedals mount. Being able to swap between setups so easily, I still would have been happy if their design wasnt 100% stable. But it is VERY stable! For comparison, I have tried another companys sim pit for work (wont mention the brand name, but they charge more than OW), and that one was not able to switch between racing/flying setups, and not a single control or keyboard tray would stay where I put it. I wont go into more detail on that one, cause this isnt a review for them. But thats to say this cockpit is of much higher quality than I expected for the price. I have seen other reviews criticize OW for nickel and diming with add-ons, but I dont see it that way. If it had shipped with every feature that is currently optional, this cockpit would be much more expensive, and we would have had plenty of users paying for features they dont want or need. This way, you can buy exactly the parts you want for your own requirements. They also have great customer support. When I ordered mine along with the center-stick bracket and rudder pedals mount, they reached out immediately by email to confirm my order (I still needed the kit that included the throttle bracket and would have had no way to mount it otherwise). They included a phone number that I called to discuss my order, which was immediately answered. They want to get you a good product and are happy to help you configure it exactly for your needs.

    Love this seat. Expensive and hard to justify but amazing. I spent 10 years simracing from an office char on my PC, too young and financially burdened to justify spending any money on a sim seat. Now, over 10 years since giving up simracing with the death Papyruss Nascar Racing series, a recent demo of Forza 6 and a cheap wheel had me itching to race again. The wheel mounted on a tray table just wasnt doing anything for me (uncomfortable and unstable). I started watching this seat/stand and knew it was amazing but figured my wife would never go for it. After convincing her that you only live once and it was worth it, she surprised me with this for Christmas. Easy to Assemble, Highly Adjustable, Comfortable, Incredibly well made and just really absolutely beautiful. Wheels on the front under the pedal mount to lift the seat and drag it out of the room when she wants it out of sight are a perfect addition. I bought a cheap non force feedback wheel (but now wish I had gone for Force Feedback) Thrustmaster Ferrari 458 , so the red on black wheel matches perfectly. It is rock solid when driving. There are simply no cons. You get what you pay for. It is expensive and was hard to justify but once you own it, you wonder why you didnt get one sooner. I left off the side gear shifter adapter as I do not have one. It saves space and there is less to bump into when moving around it. It is a big chair but the resulting cushioning is perfect.
